Caso di studio IQ+ :
Iniziativa di Business Intelligence nel
Settore della salute naturale nel Regno Unito
L'azienda, con sede a Londra (Regno Unito), è un produttore ed esportatore leader di prodotti naturali per la salute in molti paesi. Grazie alla razionalizzazione delle attività della supply chain globale e dei siti produttivi, abbiamo gestito l'integrazione dei flussi in entrata e in uscita tra fornitori in Europa e clienti in tutto il mondo. La sfida era mantenere i volumi di produzione in linea con l'elevata domanda globale, garantendo al contempo l'ottimizzazione dei flussi fisici transfrontalieri e dei relativi requisiti informativi.
Il problema della catena di fornitura .
I quattro aspetti della performance della supply chain dovevano essere affrontati il più rapidamente possibile e al minor costo possibile. I quattro pilastri erano: disponibilità delle scorte, agilità logistica, esperienza del cliente nella supply chain, costi ed economia. Gli ordini arretrati dovuti allo scarso allineamento tra produzione e pianificazione della domanda, nonché alla lentezza dei canali di comunicazione interdipartimentali, rappresentavano un problema chiave nel modo in cui l'azienda pianificava la sua traiettoria di crescita per i successivi 5 anni. Anche l'agilità nel modo in cui l'azienda consegnava i prodotti ai mercati globali era sottoposta all'esame scrupoloso del senior management. Infine, l'esperienza del cliente e i costi erano altri due elementi da affrontare e ottimizzare sia nella metodologia che nelle performance, sia per il presente che per il prossimo futuro.
